Background and approach

Her style blends client-centered conversation with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based approaches. Michelle aims to make therapy feel like a real conversation where goals are clear and steps are simple. She values hope, small wins, and a little humor when it fits.

She has additional experience with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, postpartum depression, and seasonal mood changes. Michelle also helps people wrestling with life purpose, isolation, commitment questions, and the transitions of young adulthood.

Outside of clinical work she keeps learning through continuing education and spends free time at the beach, camping, and with family and pets. Her approach is practical and collaborative, geared toward people who want straightforward tools and steady support while they work through change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where finding clear priorities matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It provides step-by-step strategies for reducing worry, improving mood, and changing stressful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. Sessions may combine ideas from ACT, CBT, and client-centered approaches so the plan stays practical and responsive to progress.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions are quieter and use less bandwidth when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to fit brief check-ins into a busy day and to follow up between meetings. These options make it easier to get consistent care while juggling work, family, and other obligations.
